the flood

it stopped for a minute,
i was relieved,
also a little scared.
scared of what was to come,
but,
I longed for the waters when they were gone,
although they destroyed everything I ever knew,
i prayed that they would come back
because it was the only thing I had ever known.

when I almost gave up
the beautiful flood came rushing back
the water has almost consumed me
and I’m in love with every moment of it,
soon the water will be over my head,
and my only hope is
that you come and save me,
save me
because i am suffocating
because I can not swim without you,
because I’m willing to let this water swallow me,
because
I refuse to live without you...

no, I do not wish to die,
but I will allow myself to drown
in the flood of your love
only because
it is the most beautiful death
I could ever ask for
